This charming boutique Pousada is located in a privileged location in the historic Alfama district opposite the Miradouro das Portas do Sol, one of the city’s highest points. There are magnificent panoramic views of the city, the Old Quarter and the river from this viewpoint. The Pousada’s historic building was painstakingly restored to maintain its authenticity, and the renovation combines the traditional with the contemporary, including a work of art in the entryway by the street artist known as Bordallo II. The interior decor is contemporary with an ambiance that is elegant and welcoming. The popular Tram 28 that traverses the Alfama up to the São Jorge Castle passes right in front of the building.
